I had left hip replacement in June 2021. Things were going well for a few weeks, then excruciating pain in one day while walking with walker. Went back to surgeon and found out that my prothesis had slipped 3/4" into my femur (he had not cemented prothesis into place). A few weeks later he did hip replacement revision, this time he cemented it into place, and used different size prothesis.
Ever since I have had pain while walking, standing, or doing other hip movements. It's painful to raise my knee more than about 2 inches, or move my leg sideways.
The pain is in the mid-front of my thigh. I would rate it anywhere from 6-8 on the pain scale. I have no pain (or very little) while sitting or laying down once I get there.
I'd been back to the surgeon a few times, along with pain specialists, neurologists, nerve doctors, and had Spinal Cord Stimulator (which I've had reset a few times due to little pain relief).
Have any of you had similar problems? If so, please contact me. 3 years or pain is enough!!!
Thank you.

My TRHR will be one year next month and I can go up stairs but when I am sitting or laying down, I cannot lift my leg at all without bad pain, even then trying to push through the pain I just can’t lift it. It’s painful and feels very heavy still. I hear others fine after a couple of months. I’m so sorry you’re in pain also
